Waking up in the morning can be a hassle. I am not much of a morning person. I usually get up around six each morning to get my girls up and ready for school. Sometimes I am still very tired, and it takes a while for me to actually be awake enough to function. I know many go to coffee to help them get through the day. What I love about coffee, is that there are many types that you can make.

If you love coffee, then I highly recommend getting the Ninja Coffee Bar System. This product is amazing at making all kinds of coffee. There is so much you can do with this machine. I have been having a lot of fun using mine to create some great drinks. You can make hot drinks like classic & rich, specialty and cafe forte. Then you have your cold drinks like iced, specialty and cocktails. As you can see, you can make any kind of coffee you’d like.

This Ninja Coffee Bar comes with the following:

  • 10-Cup (50 oz.) Ninja® Glass or Thermal Carafe
  • 50 oz. Removable Water Reservoir
  • Ninja Smart™ Scoop
  • Permanent Filter
  • 4 Single Serve Brew Sizes – Cup, XL Cup, Travel, & XL Multi-Serve
  • Built-in Hot & Cold Frother
  • 20-Recipe Inspiration Guide

Additional Features Include:

  • 5 Brew Types
  • Programmable Delay Brew
  • Drip Stop
  • Intelligent Clean Cycle Indicator

The Ninja Coffee Bar System is very simple to use. When you’re ready to make your coffee, you can open up the area where the filter is, and put your coffee grounds in there. If you don’t want to use the permanent filter that is in the brew basket, you can always use paper ones. I prefer the one that came with the Ninja Coffee Bar System. I really like those more than the paper ones.

This product did come with a scoop, so it’s an easier way to scoop out your coffee grounds. I love using this smart scoop when measuring out all the coffee grounds. It works out very nicely.

Once you have everything measured out, you can put those coffee grounds in your filter.

If you want to do a single cup of coffee, you can use this platform that pulls down for the cups. If you have a larger cup, you can just set that on the warming plate. Either way, it’s going to get you a great cup of coffee!

There is even a frother for your milk if you want to use that. To use this, you want to pour some milk in your cup until it is about one-third full. You can always use more or less depending on what your preference is. Make sure that you microwave the milk first for about 30-45 seconds if you want hot milk. Then you can move the frother in to position by swinging the arm towards the front. You’ll then want to hold your cup under the frother and submerge the whisk just below the surface of the milk. Then you will press and hold the frothing button for 30-45 seconds.

After it’s done, you can easily remove the frother. All you have to do is twist it clockwise. Make sure to keep your cup below the whisk so you can carry it to your sink to get it cleaned. It will drip all over if you don’t have something under it.

The frother works great! You can see above that I made a drink with the frother. You can see how it’s white and foamy. That is exactly what the frother will do with the milk. If you love the foamy milk, then you’ll love using the frother.

I don’t like a whole lot of coffee flavor, but I do love mochas. I find them to have less of that coffee flavor then most coffee drinks. I found a Mocha Ninjaccino recipe in the recipe book that came with the Ninja Coffee Bar System. I decided to try out this one because it looked like it would be a good drink.

This recipe calls for:

  • 2 Ninja Big Scoops of ground coffee
  • 3 cups ice
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup chocolate syrup, plus more for garnish
  • Whipped cream, for garnish

I didn’t have chocolate syrup at the time, but I did have hot fudge, so I used that instead and it still turned out great.

I thought this drink turned out great. I really liked the way it tasted, and I’ll be certain to make more of these. I actually did half of what the recipe called for, otherwise I would have ended up with two drinks when I only wanted one. This recipe is meant for 2 servings, so if you’re making it for you and someone else, then I would use the recipe I have above. Otherwise you can do what I did, and use half of the measurements to make one for yourself.

If you love to drink coffee, then I would highly recommend getting the Ninja Coffee Bar System It is great at making all types of coffee. I’m very satisfied with mine, and I hope that you will be too.

What type of coffee you do you love drink?

    I want to get this for my husband for Christmas! I know he would love it. He thinks he’s a coffee connoisseur and this would be the next step in trying new coffee.

    I’m not able to have caffeine but my daughter and husband would love this. They can enjoy their favorite coffee without having to leave home.

    I want one of these for Christmas. I think it would be perfect replacement for my old Kurieg. I much rather have foofoo coffee as my husband calls it. I love cappuccinos, frappes, and flavored coffee.

    Oddly enough I do not drink coffee or tea. Can you make hot chocolate with it?
